Forward-looking Statements
This presentation contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on
managements current expectations and assumptions about future events. Forward-looking statements
are generally accompanied by words such as estimate, project, predict, expect, anticipate,
plan, intend, seek, will, should, goal, and other words that convey the uncertainty of future
events and outcomes. Forward-looking information includes , among other matters, statements
regarding the Companys anticipated growth, quality of assets, rig utilization rate, capital spending by oil
and gas companies, production rates, the Company's growth strategy, and the Company's international
operations. Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations and
assumptions will prove to have been correct. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, including, among others: general and regional economic conditions and industry
trends; the continued strength of the contract land drilling industry in the geographic areas where the
Company operates; decisions about onshore exploration and development projects to be made by oil
and gas companies; the highly competitive nature of the contract land drilling business; the Companys
future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; the continued
availability of qualified personnel; changes in governmental regulations, including those relating to the
environment; the political, economic and other uncertainties encountered in the Company's
international operations and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks, contingencies or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those expected. Many of these factors have been discussed in more detail in the
Company's annual reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and form 10-Q for
the three months ended, March 31, 2010. Unpredictable or unknown factors that the Company has not
discussed in this presentation or in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could also
have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of the forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as the date on which they are made and the
Company undertakes no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements. We advise our
shareholders to use caution and common sense when considering our forward looking statements.

Benefits of Growing Shale Plays

18
Service firms stand to benefit from shale production due to its lower risk
development and increased service intensity (up to 3 -
5x conventional)
Reintroduction of the Majors should provide increased capital discipline in
the U.S. market, resulting in greater stability and shallower cycles

We define EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairments. Although not
prescribed under GAAP, we believe the presentation of EBITDA is relevant and useful because it helps our investors understand our
operating
performance
and
makes
it
easier
to
compare
our
results
with
those
of

EBITDA
should
not
be
considered
in
isolation
from
or
as
a
substitute
for
net
earnings
(loss)
as
an
indication
of
operating
performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to EBITDA is
included
in
the
table
below.
EBITDA,
as
we
calculate
it,
may
not
be
comparable
to
EBITDA
measures
reported
by
other
companies.
In
addition, EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use.
